Chapter 24: Awakening
Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
Shul woke up from his dreams again, he couldn't remember how many dreams he had had, again and again, countless billions of years piled together. Perhaps the time that had passed in the dream was so far away that his memory was so vague that he couldn't even remember how long he had spent in the dream.
I vaguely remember that I was the priest of a certain god, and in order to find a way to save the world in a certain dream, I made an agreement with another god that I would descend into the world of her dream as a god, and then I would repeat her behavior, and as a god, I would explore deeply in the world of her dream to find a solution to the problem.
Since the time inside and outside the dream territory is not equal, a lot of time can be bought with this method, tens of thousands of times hundreds of thousands of times, enough for Xiuer to complete all the attempts and find the right path that may exist.
The idea is beautiful, but unfortunately Shul obviously ignores a very crucial factor, time will blur the memories of mortals, no, it should be said that even gods are not immune, and as time passes, his memories become more and more blurred.
Who are the gods you serve? Someone is still worried about themselves? I can't remember, it seems that there are, and there is more than one. In addition to finding a way to save the world, do you have an unfulfilled wish? I guess I have, but I have forgotten what my wish is. By the way, why should saving the world be associated with dreaming?
Shuer wanted to scratch his head habitually, but unfortunately, this action could not be completed, he did not even have a body now, in the form of a pure spiritual body, wandering in the void, traveling thousands of kilometers, often only between thoughts, moving planets and distorting space, and it could be completed with only one thought.
Is this the state of the gods? There is indeed an essential difference between the gods and mortals.
No, I have spent millions of years as a god and countless dreams, why do I still have this kind of exclamation that belongs to mortals? I am about to forget the identity of mortals, where does this exclamation come from?
Forget it, there's no need to dwell on this, compared to this, the world in front of you is about to collapse is more important.
Yes, the world before us is about to collapse.
An apocalyptic scene in the void, all the stars that are still alive begin to erupt without warning, frantically swallowing light and heat outward, countless planets have broken away from the orbit that has been maintained for millions of years, colliding with each other in the chaos, forming violent fluctuations again and again, occasionally a spaceship escapes from the planet, but it doesn't take long to fly, it is crashed by meteorites and even asteroids that move irregularly, and the apocalypse is full of despair, and there is no trace of light in sight.
Farther away, the edge of the void began to collapse inward, no, not just from the edge, the entire void was collapsing and disintegrating at the same time, from one to zero, from being to nothing.
Another dream world has been destroyed, Lord Kaeya, dream people, haven't you found a way beyond the dream realm?
Hmm, who is Lord Kaeya? Hmm...... I remembered that it was the deity I had agreed with, I had already tried many times in my dreams, and now, it was my turn to test it further in her dreams.
Hey, did I try it in my dreams? I think I did, at least the failure of the first test is still vivid, and what about after that? Well, countless experiments, countless successes and failures.
Perhaps having experienced it too many times, Shure has no sense of despair at all, and remains absolutely calm and observes until the whole world completely dissipates.
I failed again, and I failed so many times that I was numb, and I still couldn't care about all of them by my own strength, so should I really cooperate with others like Kaeya-sama and observe the public from different angles? Or is it just my whim, and there is no better way to do it?
Wait, what's the better way? What does that mean?
Oh, by the way, I remember that the purpose of this dream was to test the effect of a certain ritual, hoping to find a safer way to venture into the dream. By the way, yes, this is what is called an experiment, is the ritual happening? I think about it, I think about it, by the way, even in her dreams, the ritual has been performed many times, and I have experienced many times the birth and destruction of the world.
So the result?
Searching carefully for his memory, he vaguely remembered that the ritual seemed to have been completed, more than once, and since it was not his dream now, he couldn't verify the effect of the ritual, but at least it had been completed. As for the effect...... It should be considered a success, but he is still wandering in the dream realm, does it mean that the ritual has made Lord Kaeya sleep even deeper?
No, whether it has any effect or not, it is most accurate to ask the creator of the dream himself. But now the question is, after so many years of wandering, and almost forgetting the purpose, why hasn't Kaeya-sama's dream woken up yet.
When are you going to wake up? You don't want to stay here forever. Or...... Should I find a way to wake her up as soon as possible in the new world that will appear in the future?
No, it won't be that much trouble, there should be a way to get yourself out as soon as possible.
I remember that before I came in, Kaeya-sama mentioned a way to leave, why can't I remember?
Shure found out that this was a problem.
I stayed for so long that I had forgotten the method of leaving that Master Kaeya had mentioned, and I only remembered that it was very simple and easy to do, but I had no impression of how to do it, as if I had never mentioned any specific method at all.
What a headache.
Shure looked at the world in front of him that was getting closer and closer to nothingness, how many times experience has proved that this is a sign of the end of a dream, if nothing else, the world will enter a long waiting period, and the world will not return to color until the next dream begins.
I don't really have to wait until the new world is born, I've seen it so many times with my own eyes, I really don't want to watch it again.
Wait, don't want to?
Ha, I remember, Master Kaeya said that he can only return to the real world if he knows that he is in a dream and wants to come back.
Recalling this past, remembering the moment of the original agreement, Shuer only felt that the world was spinning, and everything was leaving him.
The next moment, Shul woke up from his dream.
Before I could open my eyes, familiar memories filled my brain again, it turned out that everything had not been forgotten, it was just that I dreamed that I had forgotten everything, but fortunately, I finally came back smoothly.
I smelled the aroma of bluebell tea in my nose again, and my ears echoed with the sound of music, which was smooth and monotonous, full of the power to lead people to sleep.
As soon as I opened my eyes, it was still the familiar meditation room, the huge Pavadiga projection, which was quietly hanging above the room motionless, and the noble and beautiful Archbishop Judy was lying in the chaise longue in the same posture as before, tilting his head to look at Shul who had just woken up from his dream, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Coming back?"
"yes, I'm back. Shur pressed his groggy head and frowned and asked, "How long has it been?"
"It's just a few minutes. Judy asked curiously, "How's it going, is there any result?"
"It's not good, it's bad. ”
